You used stainless riv nuts? Are you worried about the bimetallic corrosion between the stainless and aluminum? I used stainless riv nuts for my sun visors and now I'm thinking it might have not been such a good idea since I've read about the galvanic corrosion.
I think we need to see what you actually have in the truck first. A 47RE 4wd overdrive unit will not work on a 47RH body. If you go under the truck there should be a yellow plug on the transmission like in the picture. If it has 3 pins its a RH, I think the RE has like 8.
As for the clocking...
I've been talking with skrilex about adapting the np242 to the back of the 47rh since we both want to keep the AWD on our cummins swaps. The stock input for the np242 has 32 splines and the output shaft for the 47rh has 23 splines. Luckily there are tons of gears that swap around on these...
I've got some projects I'm working on with my truck and figured people might not only be interested in the stuff I'm doing but could offer expertise I don't have. The main project right now is swapping in a cummins 12 valve from a 1995 ram 3500 and using the dodge 47rh transmission. This thread...

I have a 110amp 24 volt I'm planning on running.
When I got my engine it was already out of the truck so I was never able to see it run. I didn't want to do all the work of the swap and then have to take it back out to do the head gasket if it had a blown one. I don't think there is enough room to remove the head under the windshield. The...
The HMMWV hydro-boost is ran off the power steering pump so there is no need for the vacuum pump. I believe you can just block off the intake for the vacuum pump and it will be fine but I was never 100% sure on that. The vacuum pump is also pretty long and I didn't know if it would interfere...
I'm guessing that's a 12 valve, welcome to the club. I can tell you some of the things I did to mine while it is on the engine stand so I wouldn't have to do them in the truck. Mine came out of a 95 so some things might not apply to yours.
- New head gasket/ stronger grade 12 head bolts

I have a NP242 that I adapted to the back of a 47rh for my cummins project. I had to change the input gear on the transfer case to something with the proper tooth count to mate with the transmission output shaft. There are also a couple other things to look for on the input gears but I cant...
When I had to replace the voltage regulator on my 60amp alternator I found that you had to find out where the whole alternator was manufactured to get the right regulator. Mine had spade terminals like the one you have and was manufactured in Greece by Sielman. There should be a metal tag...
